Ik the feeling..I had pain for maybe like a week.. I walk around the house very slowly until I can be able to go outside and walk around the block..take your time Hun keep your head up n the worst will come to an end soon once you know it you won't even know the pain has gone.

@@Hertsukfem31 You may need to ask your DR for a stronger narcotic. I had to and the step up was an amazing difference!!

The first week post op sucks. Hang in there and keep walking. Make sure you take care of yourself and this will be a distant memory soon.

I was the same. Did short walks through out the day the rest of the time was in bed. Had to take a laxative to get things moving. On in my fourth week and it does get much much better. Be easy on yourself and let your body heal.

Are you having the pressure/ pain in your shoulders? That is so painful. the only way to help is to get that trapped air out by moving around. I did heat and walking. Also try laying on your left side. Hope you feel better soon.

I'd definitely talk to your surgeon. I had no surgery pain postop, but if yours is normal for your surgeon, perhaps he can get you different pain medication, you shouldn't have to be suffering.

Oh my the gas pain in the shoulder is awful!! I just had surgery Wednesday the 11th and then again Friday the 13th late. So I have to deal with this pain again , it sucks!! Take one day at a time that's all we can do.
